How to use wild card for domCrawler symfony?

Is it possible to use wild card to not select some UL LI element like following?

<ul>
<li id="i_touch1"></li>
<li id="i_touch2"></li>
<li id="i_touch3"></li>
<li></li> <-- this one
<li></li> <-- this one
</ul>

Best regards,

  • Something like this?

    $crawler->filterXPath('//ul/li[@id]');
